This report describes the work accomplished under Phase 2 of a project to develop and apply a landscape ecological model to aid in the understanding and management of Ontario forest ecosystems. The first year concentrated on the initial development and testing of a data and simulation system to predict and understand forest productivity and water cycling for a test area in the Temagami District of Ontario. The second year's efforts further extended and developed the landscape model for three additional ecosystems along a significant east-west gradient across the province. The sites were chosen to provide both a broad geographic range in location and biome and a set of comprehensive measurements of forest productivity and hydrology for model diagnosis and validation. The three areas incorporated into the east-west gradient are the Petawawa National Forest Institute near Pembroke, the Turkey Lakes Experimental Watershed north of Sault Ste. Marie, and the area around Rinker Lake, north of Thunder Bay. Modifications and improvements were implemented in the digital terrain analysis methods, in the user interface, and in specific process modules.

The landscape-scale approach to ecological issues has been made part of the forest policy framework in Ontario and has been incorporated into the Crown Forest Sustainability Act of 1994. Resource managers and policymakers in the province must integrate the landscape ecological perspective into established systems of resource management planning. The Forest Landscape Ecology Program commissioned a survey of their concerns and information needs with respect to this process. This report summarizes the issues and concerns reported by the respondents into 28 common themes grouped into the following general areas of activity: managing for biodiversity, wildlife management and habitat supply, ecosystem inventory and management, natural heritage definition and conservation, managing for multiple use, and assessing effects of development activities. The participants also reported on four main types of information needs.

The growing popularity of the broad, landscape-scale approach to forest management represents a dramatic shift from the traditional, stand-based focus on timber production. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape responds to the increasing need of forest policy developers, planners, and managers for an integrated, comprehensive perspective on ecological landscapes. The book examines the "big picture" of ecological patterns and processes through a case study of the vast managed forest region in Ontario. The contributors synthesize current landscape ecological knowledge of this area and look at gaps and future research directions from several points of view: spatial patterns, ecological functions and processes, natural disturbances, and ecological responses to disturbance. They also discuss the integration of landscape ecological knowledge into policies of forest management policies, particularly with respect to Ontario's legislative goals of forest sustainability. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape is the first book to describe the landscape ecology of a continuously forested landscape in a comprehensive manner. It is written for instructors and students in forest management, wildlife ecology, and landscape ecology, and for forest managers, planners, and policy developers in North America.

The focus of this study was to estimate the distribution of ecosystem productivity in Ontario at the provincial scale and to explain the nested patterns of productivity based on geoclimatic variables. The study approach, called the Regional HydroEcological Simulation System, uses remote sensing data, geographic information systems, hydroecological simulation modelling, and spatial statistical analysis to simulate forest ecosystem processes at high resolution across a range of Ontario landscapes. The techniques developed were used to partition the province into distinct, ecologically consistent, nested zones, where geoclimatic controls explain much of the variance in productivity at the largest spatial scales and where local landforms & soils control productivity at progressively smaller spatial scales.

Ecological Land Classification (ELC) refers to the description of land resources at a range of spatial resolutions (i.e. global to local) and for a range of purposes or values. The emerging science of ELC is in fact a very carefully integrated blend of vegetation and earth sciences, climatology, cartography and ecology with a range of new technologies and methodologies including computer-based geographic information systems, remote sensing and simulation modelling. This publication defines the current `state-of-the-art' of ELC. It provides particular insight into the role of ELC in current and future forest resource planning and management, and emphasizes its application and usefulness at various spatial scales, for a variety of geographic locations, and under a range of management scenarios/constraints. The book is an invaluable and substantial reference source about the current trends in ELC and will be of particular value to ecologists, foresters, geographers, resource managers, wildlife biologists, GIS and remote sensing specialists, educators and students.
